Two peas in a pod



Problem Scenario

which type of soil works better to grow pea plants

Specific Question:

What type of soil will affect pea plant the best in?

Hypothesis

I believe that A-pro mix will make the pea plants grow best because it looks basic and basic might be more naturl

Variables

Independent Variable:

soil type

Dependent Variable:

plant growth

Variables That Need To Be Controlled:

sun light,amount of water

Vocabulary List That Needs Explanation






General Plan:

I am going to have 1/12 cups of each soil in 3 containers and a little walter.and every 3 days

weather temp.

Safety Or Environmental Concerns

maybe if the container with soil has bugs some one is allergic to peas,

Time Line

Set up project march 19 record data every other days and Walter them 1/4 cups every-other day as well. April: keep collecting data and start poster Bord after vacation.






Background Research


References the bags of soil and there ingreatiants



Detailed

First you take 6, 8 oz containers and you fill 3 of them with miracle grow and pro mix in another 3 container all 2 cups.
After you fill the containers with both soils you insert in every container 1 pea pod seed about 2 inches in the soil.
Then you give every container 1/4 of Walter continue watering same amount every other day

Result

pro mix works the best because it has more nitrogen

Abstract

What soil type affect plant growth best? it was hypothitsis that pro mix would make pea plants because it had 0.97 nitrogin which it a gas plants need to make them grow. And miricle grow only had 0.5.
